Bamboozled

Media Author Review
United States
The New Yorker
"With a wide range of incisive, sardonic, hyperbolic humor and drama, Lee sketches the circular connections between racist images, racist policies, and the lack of leadership to resist them." 
United Kingdom
BBC
"There's no questioning the strength of Lee's polemic nor the social and political observations that 'Bamboozled' offers, yet as a piece of film-making it is undeniably flawed." 
United States
Chicago Tribune
"Starts out hilarious and then turns very, very grim."
United States
Rolling Stone
"A frustratingly uneven satire with undeniably sharp teeth, isn't afraid to shoot comic darts at its targets until blood is drawn."
United States
SFGATE
"Guaranteed to inspire, antagonize and divide his (Lee's) audience" 
United States
Los Angeles Times
"It's the angriest film an unfailingly angry filmmaker has yet made, skewering almost everyone in it, both black and white"
United States
Chicago Sun-Times
"Spike Lee misjudged his material and audience. He doesn't find a successful way to express his feelings, angers and satirical points."
